He Walked By Night (1948)



Very realistic film noir about ex-cop who goes on a killing spree (inspired by real criminal, Erwin 'Machine Gun' Walker. Although shot in semi-documentary police procedural style, it preserves film noir iconography thanks to cinematographer John Alton and director Anthony Mann. It should be noted that this movie is one of many made by famous Outfit gangster, mostly in Eagle-Lion studios.
